Jumeirah is coastal soul of Dubai. One of oldest residential districts of city, it stretches several kilometers along Persian Gulf and embodies soothed luxury: low villas decorated with bougainvillea, iconic beaches, neighborhood cafes and independent boutiques. Far from verticality of Downtown, Jumeirah offers horizontal and authentic reading of Dubai prestige, prized by families and long-term residents.
A pioneering district of Dubai real estate
Jumeirah is part of first expat residential districts of Dubai and accompanied growth of city from its beginnings. Its urban fabric, mainly composed of independent villas and low-height residences, deliberately contrasts with towers of new developments.
Beaches, corniche and coastal softness as signature
Identity of Jumeirah rests on its maritime facade. Kite Beach, Nessnass beach, Jumeirah Public Beach and promenades of Dubai Water Canal offer daily life oriented to outdoors: swimming, kitesurf, paddle, jogging facing Burj Al Arab.
Culture, gastronomy and neighborhood life at human scale
Beyond beaches, Jumeirah cultivates singular local scene: Jumeirah mosque, masterpiece of Islamic architecture open to visits, Etihad Museum, art galleries and independent cafes of Al Wasl Road and Jumeirah Beach Road.
A central position between history and business
Jumeirah benefits from pivotal position: a few minutes from Downtown, Business Bay and DIFC, while remaining at distance from tumult of business districts.
